Description Waiting for the wind to take me away ^^

Still experimenting with different things .. this was taken by reversing the lens ..
yup was pretty bored to try this but hey it turned out pretty good, liked the colours and sharpness to it ^^
used a old kenko extension tub connector with a UV filter minus the glass to attach the lens in reverse

Mcguyver would have been proud ^^

wonderful shot, it's so sharp and clear
um, what exactly do you mean by reversing the lens? Sorry for asking dumb questions but I'm still a beginner at photography so I'm trying to learn what I can

Just that, turning the lens around but care should be taken , its easy to scratch lenses If you have two lenses you can place the first lens as normal in the camera then hold a second to the firsts back to front..

kenko tubes are pretty good to play around with and can pick them up so cheaply now.

LuckyMax In reply to sourcow [2007-06-03 01:29:41 +0000 UTC]

yeah I used throw away cameras quite a bit before I got this camera. It's still good but I really really want a wide angle camera or at least a lens and a camera that works with it.
